giant_moth.jpg

come out to play, i cant stand the things, its irrational but we just dont get along. does anyone know of a way i can keep them away, i like to have the windows open in the summer, have a joint in the back garden at midnight when its still warm. looking really for some sort of plant or candle that gives of a scent they dont like but wouldnt bother me to much.

i hate moths, i have an irational fear of anything that flys that can come near me, moths + butterflys included. i had a few of those stick things that taste sweet to them that catchs and traps moths etc. but they didnt work too well, they worked but only to like 40%, 60% still passed through.

I was told that a row of candles on the window ledge works as they fly into the candles and burn their wings but that is rather mean. i dunno :(.

who the hell are you and what have you done with Tris?????




Moths: they are attracted by sweet things so cannibis smoke could possibly attract them, if you want to limit them to one part of your garden and try and keep them away from the house try a moth lure at the furthest part of your garden (dont know if you can but them but theyre easy to make, just spread jam, red wine, honey, anything sickly sweet on a sock and hang it up or to keep them out of your house try tacking with drawing pins pieces of net curtain over your window opening, bit like a dirt cheap screen door.

personally i like moths because they dont hurt, had an issue with may bugs a few years ago lol they kept flying in to my window and it sounded like some one was throwing stones, kept me awake. Also when i was cycling i got nuked by them and the hit me in the head (wear helms ppl!!) got caught in my hair it was like having conkers hit you lol picked about 5 out of my hair was nasteh!!!

There is a moth that hangs around wine cellars and east the corks out of the bottles and probably drinks the wine too!

I hate bees/wasps the most.

Another one went into the TV sound surround system and never saw him again :s

Nooooo don't kill zee bee's!! theyre good, wasps also wont do you any harm and if you swat them they release pheramones which attract even more.

insects are so misunderstood, just because some of them can bite/sting doesnt mean they will, dont kill em!!!!

the other day i was chilling my room then i had a steve irwin moment.

a wasp the same size as a 50p managed to sneak into my room. so i had to spray the mother fucker. but it took about 40 seconds of spraying the poison before it died. for some reason i grabbed one of my swords. in the end i only used it to open the curtain to the side.

true story.

if you were faced with a prehistoric beast that has hibernated for 65 million years, would you simply shoo it out?

Don't they get attracted by lights aswell? Atleast some insects do, so maybe put up a lamp in the far end of the garden aswell...No idea if it'd work with moths tho. :(
